Somerville is great because of

Clotheslines full of sheets & washcloths, and every cloth in between
Basil & rosemary and figs & tomatoes shared neighbor to neighbor
No Starbucks on Main Street
Kids playing football across 3 lawns
Hammock yawns
Slate sidewalks that should be cared for beneath our feet
3 pies for 3 different pizza moods
50s tunes over Friday Night Cruiser
The Courthouse; County-Seat
Because of its teachers of Art Science English History Design Law and Architects
Kids that have to be home by 6
Yardsales of great generosity
The United States Cycling Hall of Fame
Our Time to Remember; 9-11 Memorial
A town that reads like a fabled 21st century and
Sheets for the dinner table
